Chateau DIY At Christmas

Channel 4’s “Château DIY” returns this Friday with a typically busy episode, offering a peek into the lives of intrepid Brits tackling the joys and tribulations of château ownership in France.

At Château Lagorce, Anna and Edward are in full swing preparing for their 400th wedding anniversary. With 80 guests expected and multiple ceremonies planned, the pressure is on to create a memorable event. Meanwhile, at Château du Puits es Pratx, Tim and Sasha grapple with a seemingly simple project: constructing bamboo benches. Their château boasts an abundance of bamboo, but wrangling this natural resource into functional furniture proves more difficult than anticipated. Over in Normandy, at Château de Lalacelle, Terry and Ashley continue the seemingly never-ending renovation of their guest suite.
